Bolivia Day 18; Guanay & Caranavi

  The long drive down from Apollo continued again today. We had hoped that once we reached the town of Madiri, we would be through the worst of it but that was not the case. The rain and mud, which resulted in sliding and slow driving continued and we passed stationary vehicles and crashed cars, including a car sliding into a wagon right in front of us, continued to make progress slow. Once we finally reached the town of Guanay things improved, and although we still had around four hours driving, we finally made it to the town of Caranavi, where we would rejoin the main tarmacked road and end this two day nightmare. The only bird of any note we saw today was a distant Grey-headed Kite, which made for a nice break in an otherwise long day.
